I am running Windows 8 but with a wired USB controller and have had no issues. I would suggest running the Win 7 drivers and see if that works. How are you connecting the wireless controller to your PC (not familiar with the wireless controller apart from using the console itself)?

The light indicates what controller is connected. ie. if you had 4 controllers each would have a light under one of the numbers. Normally it should be solid, not flashing. It flashes when the battery is low or there is no connection to the receiver. I have a wireless controller working fine on Windows 8 with the default drivers.

The wireless receiver for the controller has an issue where a tiny smd fuse inside it will break.

mine usually gave a low high pitched whining sound when it happened.

I know that fuse. I soldered it a while back :). My receiver stopped working completely so I had nothing to lose.

I use my controller on daily basis and this error occurred on the day I switched to Windows 8. Could be a weird coincidence but I doubt it.

I knew the light indicates what controller is connected. Didn't knew about the "no connection" when it flashes. So you're saying there's a problem with the receiver after all? hmm
